Muchuan and Xiang Wan

The wine at Lan Guixiangfang last night made the friends of the criminal investigation team feel good.

During working hours, all of them had bright smiles on their faces. Xiang Wan was also in a good mood, and found that today's brigade had a particularly team spirit, and every little partner was so kind.

"Teacher Xiang, good morning!"

"morning!"

Xiang Wan poured water for Xiao Liu, and cleaned up the desktop in the office. Just as he sat down, he received a notification that all members went to the large conference room to participate in the "National Day and Mid-Autumn Stability Maintenance Work Deployment Video Conference". All except those on duty must attend the meeting.

In other words, Xiang Wan, a non-staff, was no exception.

The video conference is arranged by the provincial government, and the main content is the issue of security and stability maintenance during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Every year at this time, it is the time to pay close attention to social security, and the higher-ups have relatively high requirements for grass-roots work...

The leaders were talking on the video, and Xiang Wan listened carefully in the conference room and took notes carefully. Although she didn't understand many things, she was definitely the most attentive one in the conference room, except for occasionally glancing at the video on the video. The leaders of the provincial department, completely focused on—

"Are you stupid?"

Another message broke in.

When Xiang Wan entered the conference room, he turned off the volume, leaving only the vibration.

But even so, the sound startled her.

She raised her head slightly, glanced at Bai Muchuan who was also in the meeting, and then lowered her head to reply.

"It's a meeting, what message did you send?"

"Routine meeting, why are you so nervous? There will be a document for the meeting. Hey, my silly girl, are you still taking notes honestly?"

Uh! Xiang Wan looked around at her colleagues, like an elementary school student who listened carefully to the class but became a different kind. For a while, his values were not stable.

"Stupid birds fly first. I was a monk halfway through, so I don't understand too much. What's the matter if I study it? Bai Muchuan, try to laugh at me again!"

"I didn't laugh at it. It's just that I really can't stand it anymore, and my heart hurts..."

Distressed? Xiang Wan's cheeks burned and his chest thumped.

But before she could reply, another text message popped up.

"I accidentally sent it before I finished typing—I actually want to say that I feel sorry for your IQ."

Depend on! Xiang Wan gouged him out viciously.

Across a long conference table, she saw Bai Muchuan's narrow face.

He was looking at her and smiling, his handsome eyes were like obsidian, exuding a warm luster, like a charming whirlpool, which made her not know whether to be angry or happy for a moment...

"Don't be angry, good boy! Just kidding. After the meeting, come with me to the set again!"

go again? Thinking of the crew, Xiang Wan felt a little overwhelmed for no reason.

Cases related to the crew, how many times did this happen

1. Xie Wanwan's personal belongings were stolen and Cao Mengjia threatened her at the same time.

2. Kong Qingping died of an accident due to theft, and it was his own father who accidentally killed him.

3. Yu Hui and another girl died in a fan brawl between Xie Wanwan and Ye Lun, a social incident.

4. Cao Mengjia committed suicide in fear of crime...

Taken individually, each case was solved cleanly.

But several cases left doubts. Those connections are like a layer of veil, you can vaguely see some outlines, but you can't see the real essence inside...

"Bai Muchuan, did you read my update last night?" Xiang Wan lowered her hair to message.

"I read it. It's well written. From the story point of view, it's very complete and exciting." Bai Muchuan replied quickly.

"What about reality?" she asked.

"Be realistic—better not be so dramatic!"

Without waiting for Xiang Wan to reply, he added in a relaxed tone, "Actually, the rhythm of the first few chapters is quite good. Girls, they like to watch when they are in love, flirting, etc... Well, I am looking forward to it too." , when will Police Officer Fang Yelan have meat to eat..."

"Screw you!"

"Ha ha!"

The small movements of the two of them were very secretive.

In the conference room, with the video turned on, everyone's movements were very small, but there were quite a few people looking at their phones, so they fiddled with their phones occasionally, and everyone was not surprised...

However, the occasional small smile on Xiangwan's lips did not escape Cheng Zheng's eyes.

…

When the meeting ended, Cheng was waiting for Xiang Wan in the aisle outside.

"Teacher Xiang, are you free?"

Xiang Wan yelled, a little surprised, "Die Cheng has something to do with me?"

Cheng Zheng said expressionlessly: "Didn't you say that you wanted to read some forensic case records to enrich writing materials? I'm free this morning."

"I'm sorry, Teacher Xiang is not free!" With a low laugh, Bai Muchuan came from behind and patted Cheng Zheng's shoulder, "We are going to visit the scene. Today, no, many days in the future, we will not be free."

"At the scene?" Cheng Zheng asked, "Is there any case these two days?"

Because of yesterday's incident, the technical team was not notified because there were no casualties, and Cheng Zheng didn't know about it.

Moreover, that is not a case at all, it is at most an incident...

Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows without explaining to him, "It's related to the previous case."

After finishing speaking, he squinted and motioned to Xiang Wan, "Let's go, Teacher Xiang!"

Outside, he has been using this address. Xiang Wan used to think that the teacher's voice was awkward, but now he feels very comfortable...

"Okay. White team!"

She turned her head and smiled slightly, "Cheng Dui, I'm leaving first, and I'll look for you to read the materials later!"

Holding the notebook in her arms, she raised her head and strode forward.

From behind, Cheng Zheng's light voice came, "In the future, when you have meetings, don't make small moves. The video is connected to the provincial department. If it happens to be discovered, it will be very ugly at that time!"

Cheng Zheng's words were addressed to Bai Muchuan.

But Xiangwan's ears burned suddenly, and he felt that his back would not be straight.

Almost desperately, she quickened her pace, and ran away like a rabbit.

Bai Muchuan looked at her panicked back, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at Cheng Zheng coldly, "It's late!"

One sentence late, semantic pun.

Cheng Zheng's face changed slightly, but Bai Muchuan smiled lazily and strode out.

"Tang Yuanchu, get the car!"

…

The lingering light rain this morning locked people in the house.

The road surface is slippery. On the Avenue of Stars today, the number of people who come out to relax has decreased significantly. Looking around, most of them are elderly people stretching their arms and legs on the promenade by the river, exercising and breathing fresh air, rain or shine.

Bai Muchuan, Xiang Wan, and Tang Yuanchu came here together.

They didn't go directly to the set, but walked slowly along the street.

Walking near yesterday's small teahouse, Bai Muchuan suddenly pointed to the window on the third floor, and said to Xiang Wan and Tang Yuanchu, "Let's go up and have a seat."

Tang Yuanchu didn't know why, so he looked confused, "Why are you going, boss?"

Xiang Wan probably guessed what he was going for, nodded, and followed.

The three went upstairs, and the waiter warmly greeted them.

"What would you like to drink?"

Bai Muchuan ordered a pot of cooked Pu'er, and when the waiter brought it out, he suddenly asked him, "How many surveillance cameras are there in your store?"

The waiter was startled, glanced at him, and answered honestly, "There are two!"

Bai Muchuan: "Where are they all?"

There was a hint of vigilance in the waiter's eyes, "I don't know about this, I have to ask our boss!"

Bai Muchuan slowly took out his ID, and raised it lightly, "Please, please come here, your boss."

Seeing the police officer's card, the clerk's expression changed from startled to terrified, and immediately became richer. He nodded and left immediately.

"Okay, everyone, sit down! I'll call right away!"

The boss came over quickly, saw their serious expressions, and asked nervously, "Comrade policeman, what happened?"

Bai Muchuan pointed across the street, "Can the surveillance in your store see that location?"

The boss froze for a moment, then shook his head, "Our monitoring is mainly internal, and we can't see it from the streets outside..."

"Thank you!" Bai Muchuan stood up, "Please call me out and let me have a look."

When asked by the police, the boss dared not delay. They quickly got the surveillance camera in the store. However, the boss didn't lie, the surveillance here really couldn't see the one over there.

Bai Muchuan thanked the boss again, and then said to Xiang Wan and Tang Yuanchu, "Let's go!"

"Don't you drink the tea?" Tang Yuanchu looked at the paid tea on the table, feeling a little heartbroken—it's so expensive! The consumption here is very high!

"Why don't you stay and drink?" Bai Muchuan gave him an indifferent look.

"..."

After leaving the restaurant, Tang Yuanchu still couldn't figure it out.

"Boss, let's just ask questions, why waste money?"

Bai Muchuan said slowly, "This is not a case that has been filed, so it's not entirely official."

"..."

This logic, Tang Yuanchu was speechless.

Seeing that Bai Muchuan was going to ask the second family again, he stopped him desperately.

"Let's not spend money this time. If you are embarrassed, I will ask..."

"He's not embarrassed." Xiang Wan took the words, with a half-smile, "You don't know him too well. Why did he make that pot of tea? It's just that his uncle wants to try the taste!"

"Ah? Ha!" Tang Yuanchu laughed blankly.

"Teacher Xiang, I said, don't you bring such a saboteur?" Bai Muchuan looked at her calmly, and snorted, "The image of the wise and mighty police officer has collapsed like this!"

"Crazy!" Xiang Wan made a grimace, and then became serious, "I know you want to confirm the content of my novel. But it's just a novel! For the sake of intentionality, it must be written like that. In reality—well, in reality I also have the same feeling... The place where the girl disappeared must be a surveillance blind spot."

What with what? Tang Yuanchu was dumbfounded and couldn't understand what she said.

Bai Muchuan was silent for a while, but asked, "Based?"

Xiang Wan raised her head and smiled slightly, "Sixth sense."

In the chapter she updated last night, a girl was missing from the filming scene of the film crew. That girl was a fan of male No. 3. She came all the way here to see her idol, but disappeared at the filming scene. Then, suspecting the girl's disappearance, Police Officer Fang Yelan took Rong Xiaonuan to visit the scene, but the surveillance cameras in that area did not capture the girl leaving.

At the end of the chapter of the novel, it is also written: "Three days later, the girl's body was floating in the nearby river..."

When Bai Muchuan asked about the monitoring when he came to the Avenue of Stars today, she guessed it.

However, she was gratified that he valued the reasoning of her novel, but also felt a little ashamed.

"The novel is mainly for drama... reality, I actually don't want such a plot to happen."

"I also have a sixth sense." Bai Muchuan stared suddenly, "You're going to get angry again!"

If possible, Xiang Wan really didn't want to catch fire in this way!

But sometimes things are like this, what I am afraid of will happen.

Soon, Bai Muchuan's prediction was verified—

Back home that evening, Xiang Wan was cleaning up the empty room, making preparations for Police Officer Bai to move in and "cohabit" when he received a call from Bai Muchuan.

"Congratulations! Another successful prewriting!"

Hearing this, Xiang Wan's heart sank, her hand holding the mop was slightly stiff, and she felt chilly all over.

"Dead?"

"Dead."

"Is it impeller's little girlfriend?"

"It's not certain at the moment. It can only be judged that the deceased is a woman!"

"Are you going over there?" Xiang Wan asked, feeling a little out of breath, because he couldn't straighten his tongue because of nervousness.

"Yeah." Bai Muchuan paused, and sighed softly, "Today we won't be able to move again. It seems that it is not easy to live with Teacher Xiang, at least we have to go through ninety-nine or eighty-one difficulties!"

"..." Xiang Wan didn't listen to him, and thought for a while and asked, "Can I go together?"

"Silly girl, what is there to see at the scene of the crime?"

"I want to go!" There was a faint chill in his heart, and the strong sense of uneasiness made Xiang Wan dare not stay at home like this and wait for the result.

Waiting is maddening.

"Then..." Bai Muchuan hesitated, "You should be able to come with Cheng Zheng when you go out now."

Ok? Xiang Wan's heart tightened, "You don't mind?"

"You are defeated! What do you care about? I will bear him, my lord!"

This arrogant look is really attractive - I like it!

The corners of Xiang Wan's lips twitched, instead of talking to him, he left the mop handle without washing it, and went out in a hurry with his phone.

Sure enough, Cheng Zheng just locked the door and came out. Seeing her, he nodded and said, "Teacher Xiang? Where are you... going?"

Xiang Wan smiled, "At the scene."

Cheng Zheng was slightly taken aback: "You also know?"

Xiang Wan chuckled softly, "Let's go, let's take a ride together!"

Cheng Zheng's eyes darkened and he remained silent.

In the past, he tried every means to give her a ride, but she refused to say anything, and he was very unhappy. But now that she suddenly took the initiative, he didn't feel happy either.

"What? You don't want to?" Xiang Wan looked at him motionless, raised his eyebrows, and laughed.

That relaxed look made Cheng Zheng's contracted heart relax slightly, and he nodded expressionlessly, "Go!"

…

When Xiang Wan arrived at the Avenue of Stars, Bai Muchuan was already there.

On the riverside, there was a long cordon, the firemen and the police were walking around, trying to salvage something in the river.

Xiang Wan opened the cordon and went in, walked to Bai Muchuan's side, and asked him in a low voice, "So fast, did you come here by flying car?"

You know, he lives much farther away than her!

Bai Muchuan glanced at her, "When I called you, I was already on my way!"

Xiang Wan was startled, "Aren't you packing your luggage at home?"

Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows, "I got a call when I was halfway through packing."

Ok! Xiang Wan looked around, everyone was busy, and she stopped talking nonsense, "What are they fishing in the river for?"

Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a calm, logical voice, "A corpse!"

"Huh?" Xiang Wan was puzzled and asked, frowning, "Didn't you find the body? Otherwise, how would you know it was a dead person, or a woman?"

That's a great question! Get straight to the point.

Bai Muchuan took a deep look at her, pouted his lips, and showed her where Cheng was going - Mei Xin was squatting down and fiddling with a black body bag.

"What was found was not a body, but a head..."

Click! Xiang Wan swallowed her saliva, her stomach felt bad immediately, and her stomach acid kept leaking out.

She saw Cheng Zheng put on white gloves, stood in Mei Xin's place, and opened the black body bag...

With just one glance, she reflexively looked away.

"It's fucking scary! Have you notified Xie Wanwan to identify the body? Is it the girl?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Bai Muchuan's answer, and turned to look at him again, "What's wrong?"

Bai Muchuan was laughing, teasingly, with his thin lips lightly raised, "I've failed my studies, Xiao Xiangwan!"

"..."

It was only then that Xiang Wan realized that he had inadvertently said a dirty word because of nervousness. A little embarrassed, she patted her head and threw the pot back effortlessly, "Yeah! I don't know why recently, I just learned how to be pure. It turns out that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black!"

Bai Muchuan hummed, but didn't hate her.

On the river, people come and go from time to time.

Those from the nearby police station, criminal university, and firefighters were all busy salvaging the corpse.

The head was found in the creek. A few middle school students were playing by the river after school. At first they thought it was a model of a barbershop that had been thrown into the water. They wanted to pick it up to play, but they felt something was wrong. He was half dead and immediately called the police.

But the police salvaged the waters near where the head was found for a long time, and a pile of garbage was found, including dead cats and dogs, but there was no body!

"Boss! Still haven't found anything? Do you want to continue fishing?" Xie Hui wiped his sweat and came over to ask Bai Muchuan.

"Fishing!" Bai Muchuan looked at his watch, "How long have you been fishing, are you getting impatient?"

Xie Hui chuckled, "No, no." He glanced at the river again, and said in a low voice, "I see that the brothers are all hungry! I wonder if we should have a meal first, and then continue fishing?"

"It's getting dark after eating!" Bai Muchuan raised his chin, "Continue!"

"okay!"

Xie Hui walked away, Xiang Wan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Muchuan, "Let's go too! See if we can help."

It was very close to where they drank tea during the day...or rather, it was on the river outside his teahouse at all. When they approached, the balconies on the second and third floors of the teahouse were already full of spectators. The people eating melons held their mobile phones, secretly took pictures, or pointed fingers, which made the atmosphere very tense.

Often, guesswork is the scariest thing.

The owner of the teahouse sighed at the door. Seeing Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan approaching, he froze for a moment, recognized them, and walked over to say hello.

"Officer, if you come to ask me for surveillance today, do you know that there are dead people here?"

Xiang Wan was about to speak when Bai Muchuan immediately interrupted her, "Sorry, I have no comment until the case is clarified!"

The boss ate and held back, smiled, and went down resentfully.

Xiang Wan shrugged his shoulders and thought, luckily he didn't talk too much.

The buildings by the river are about two or three meters away from the stone fence on the river bank. A row of lush trees are planted by the river, and the greening is also done very well. There is a section of stone steps leading to the river outside the teahouse. , Those few middle school students were playing there and found the head.

"What a place to dump corpses!"

Xiang Wan looked around, and with a sigh of emotion, Bai Muchuan picked up a bamboo pole and slowly inserted it into the river.

"What are you doing?" she asked puzzled.

"Try the depth of the water!" Bai Muchuan said, pulling back the bamboo pole, throwing it on the bank, frowning, "The water here is very shallow!"

"Really?" Xiang Wan looked at his dignified side face, and his mind suddenly became clear, "You mean, the person who threw the corpse never thought of hiding the corpse at all?"

If you sincerely want to hide the corpse, you can't choose anywhere, why choose such a shallow river

Bai Muchuan nodded, gave her an approving look, and walked towards the boss again.

"Did you hear any unusual sounds in the past two days?"

The boss saw the person with the head the first time the middle school student called the police, and he was so terrified, how could he think of anything

He shook his head desperately, "I didn't hear anything! It has nothing to do with me! I'm just wondering, whoever killed someone, why didn't he throw it away, but why did he throw it outside my shop? Isn't this sincere? Respond to me? Sigh, I managed to start this business, how can I continue with this turmoil! You see... this time is supposed to be the time for customers, and there is no one in the store!"

"..."

No matter how big things happen in the world, and no matter whether others live or die, most people always only care about their own interests.

Xiang Wan stood by without saying a word, listening to Bai Muchuan's question to the boss.

Not two minutes later, Mei Xin called him over there.

"Bai team, come here!"

Three people from the technical team came, and they were all studying around the head in the black body bag.

When Xiang Wan passed by, he felt a little nervous. In fact, there was still a little obstacle. As a result, when I got closer, I found that it was a big obstacle at all.

She didn't dare to take a look at the black bag, her eyes kept falling on Mei Xin's almost transparent face, and she focused all her attention on her ears, listening to Cheng Zheng tell Bai Muchuan about the situation.

"...the deceased was a female, between the ages of 18 and 22. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. After death, she was dismembered with a chainsaw. The incision was flat and smooth...the time of death was probably within twelve hours!"

"Can the time be more accurate?" Bai Muchuan asked.

"Further autopsy is needed!" After Cheng Zheng finished speaking, he pointed to the black bag, "If there are no other questions, I'll take it back first!"

"Okay!" In business matters, Bai Muchuan never argues with him, "If there is anything wrong here, I will contact you again."

Cheng Zheng nodded, glanced at Xiang Wan, and then at Mei Xin.

Then, Xiang Wan watched helplessly as Mei Xin picked up the bag containing the head, turned around and left.

I go! This girl is too powerful!

She silently praised Mei Xin in her heart, and watched her leave with a blank expression...

Then, she saw Xie Wanwan hurrying over.

"Xiaobai, where are you?"

Xie Wanwan's reaction was basically the same as Xiang Wan's.

He thought it was for her to see the corpse when he came up, but he never thought that what Bai Muchuan showed her were just a few photos from different angles.

"Look at this man, do you know him?"

"Ah? This..." Xie Wanwan stroked her hair, covered her mouth, seemed to be taken aback, took a few seconds to catch her breath, and said calmly, "Just watch this? Then you can send it to me directly?" That's enough, let me run away!"

"Can you send this casually?" Bai Muchuan coldly scolded her, and held out the phone in front of her, "Look! Is it her?"

Xie Wanwan tilted her neck and looked at it for a long time. There was fear in her eyes, and she said speciously, "It's very similar! It's a bit similar. But... this expression is too ferocious, and the person is a little deformed. I'm not sure! "

Not sure.

But like, a lot like, sort of like.

This was enough to make Xiang Wan's heavy heart rise to his throat again.

If it was really the girl Xie Wanwan was talking about, and if the time of her death happened to be within twelve hours of Cheng Zheng's guess... Then, does it mean that the girl died after the chapter of her novel was published

This is too scary!

Her back was sweating, as if someone had strangled her throat, and her legs suddenly became weak...

Bai Muchuan glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and when he saw it, he stretched out his hand to support her, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiang Wan pursed her lips, said yes, and spoke a little reluctantly, "Does that count, I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me? Bai Muchuan, tell me... who is that person?"

Bai Muchuan tightened his wrists and helped her stabilize, "Don't think so much! It has nothing to do with you."

Xiang Wan shook his head and looked at him seriously, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

Bai Muchuan glanced at Xie Wanwan next to him, and frowned slightly, "I expected that person to pay attention to your book, but I'm not sure that person will continue to imitate it. Now, it's just confirmed the guess."

He squeezed Xiang Wan's arm, as if giving her strength.

Then, he immediately called Tang Yuanchu over and arranged for them to interrogate the impeller and all the staff around him...

Xiang Wan stood by the side and listened to him arrange the work. He was silent for a while, then suddenly sniffed.

"I won't write books based on reality in the future!"

"It's useless." Bai Muchuan turned his head and looked at her pitifully, "I'm after you. No matter what you write... it's the same."

"..."

Even if her book doesn't have anything to do with reality, he'll get involved in reality

Xiang Wan didn't dare to think about it, so she thought about it a little more, and goose bumps popped up all over her body, filled with indescribable fear and weirdness.

"Isn't that the real reason you hired me as a consultant?"

Bai Muchuan frowned upon hearing her sudden question.

"Not quite. Your talent..."

"Bullshit talent!" Xiang Wan snorted, clenched his fists inexplicably, "I just can't figure it out, how did I provoke this person? Why did he follow me?"

"At first, maybe it was just an accident!"

Accident! Was the first case, the Zhaojiahang 720 case, an accidental imitation by Er Niu

Xiang Wan rubbed his temples, not daring to think about it any further. His mind was buzzing as if it had been stuffed with lead, and suddenly burst into pain, which was indescribably uncomfortable.

"Bai Muchuan, show me the photo!"

She had brushed past that ferocious head countless times before, but she didn't dare to take a closer look.

But at this moment, she suddenly wasn't so afraid anymore.

I really want, I really want to see this unlucky girl who died because of her...

Bai Muchuan frowned, unlocked the phone, and handed it to her.

The photo was in his eyes, but Xiang Wan did a lot of mental construction before he dared to focus on it.

A girl's staring eyes, open mouth, pale skin, expression of fear, and messy hair all occupied her sight so eeriely.

Xiang Wan shook her hand and almost dropped Bai Muchuan's phone on the ground.

"If you're afraid, don't look at it, silly girl!" Bai Muchuan held her shoulders and reached for the phone, but Xiang Wan stepped aside.

"I'm not afraid! I'll take another look." She spoke very quickly, and boldly zoomed in and out of the photo, going back and forth countless times, and finally took a deep breath, "Bai Muchuan, I seem to know her! "
